moms of boys (or maybe girls?)

I need to get DS1 a rash guard to keep at school for the summer. I don't want to spend too much money since it will be the designated school-wear so it's going to get messed up, but on the other hand I don't want it to be a piece of junk and have to get replaced half way through summer. Also, DS has a super ginormous head so the neck hole can't be too tight. I would *prefer* long sleeved, but the above are a higher priority.

With all that in mind - where would you shop?

    Walmart has SPF 50 rash guards...not sure about long sleeved or big neck hole BUT they are under $10 (from what I remember)....I got a Sponge Bob one last year for my nephew.

    Ours isn't long-sleeved, but DS's is from Target. He used it all last summer and will use it this year again. I think Old Navy has had long sleeved in the past. We've had one from there before and it held up fine.

    We've had good luck with the long sleeve rash guards from Old Navy (they've held up great through two boys and will be passed down to #3).  I don't think I paid more than $10 for each.

    We've always gotten DS's rash guard shirts from Carters (outlet) or BJs for $10 or less each.  DS has a big head as well and I've had luck getting one size larger - his head fits through and the shirt isn't big enough that the size difference is hugely noticeable. It also helps offset any mid-season growth spurts.

    We have also been buying them bigger which helps them to last for more than one summer and helps with a big head.  I also get mine from Target and they hold up great but no long sleeves.  I just got one and it as $7.99.
